Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fireplace system and, more particularly, to the installation of a gas fireplace, and associated cabinetry.
- Conventional woodburning fireplaces have been used in homes throughout the years. Although these fireplaces are not usually the primary heating source in todays homes, such fireplaces remain quite popular due to their aesthetic value and charm. Conventional woodburning fireplaces, of course, require some type of chimney for venting of the combustion products. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, conventional fireplaces are typically built with an outside masonry chimney. Prefabricated woodburning fireplaces typically have metal chimneys that are installed in an outside chimney chase. In newer construction, these chimneys are often framed, and thereafter covered by siding.

- FIG. 15 is a perspective assembly view of the cabinet units of the present invention.
- System 10 is located entirely interior of the outer walls of the home.
- System 10 includes a gas fireplace 12 and associated cabinetry 14. More particularly, cabinetry 14 includes fireplace cabinet unit 16, corner cabinet unit 18 and bookcase cabinet unit 20.
- corner cabinet unit 18 is sized to hold a television 21 and other electronic equipment such as a video tape player (not shown).
- the floor layout of system 10 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the present invention provides a new and useful in-the-room fireplace system and method for installation thereof (including any associated cabinetry) in new home construction, thus overcoming the problems (e.g., improper fireplace location, improper vented gas line location, improper or damaged cabinetry) commonly associated with prior art installations.
- the fireplace system described herein includes at least one installation template which coordinates at the time the fireplace unit is roughed in all subsequent fittings and finishing. The template thereby ensures that the fireplace is secured in precisely the correct location for receipt of subsequent gas lines, vent lines, electrical outlets and cabinetry. Thus, fit and finish problems which result in additional cost and/or time are eliminated.
- each cabinetry unit includes an installation template.
- fireplace cabinet unit 16 includes template 22
- corner cabinet unit 18 includes templates 24, 26 and 28,
- bookcase cabinet unit 20 includes template 30.
- the various templates may be secured to one another by, for example, a plurality of cam locking pins 32. Once the various templates are secured to one another, the combined template is positioned at its proper location and secured to the subfloor. This may be accomplished by nails, screws, glue or other suitable means.
- Template 22 is shown in detail in FIG. 3.
- Template 22 includes a planar panel 34 having an upper surface 36 for receipt of the fireplace thereon, and a lower surface 38 for engagement with the subfloor of the home.
- Template 22 further includes a drywall flange 40 secured to upper surface 36.
- flange 40 is set back from rearward edge 42 of panel 34 a distance d as to allow the rearward edge to abut and thus contact studs 44.
- Distance d corresponds to the thickness of the drywall 45, commonly 5/8 of an inch.
- a drywall cavity sized for receipt of drywall is defined along the rearward edge of the panel. It is contemplated herein that this drywall cavity may also be created by notching the rearward edge of the panel or in other similar fashion.
- template 22 is shown secured to floor 46 and in abutting contact with studs 44 (templates 24, 26, 28 and 30 having been removed for clarity).
- fireplace 12 is thereafter positioned on template 22 and anchored thereto.
- surface 36 includes transverse measuring marks 48 and lengthwise measuring marks 50 (see FIG. 3).
- marks 50 are located on both sides of the center of the template and are graduated in inches to facilitate the placement of the fireplace unit. The fireplace is therefore centered on the template by reference to marks 50.
- the template may include other means such as predrilled holes, detents, guide strips, etc., for properly locating the gas fireplace thereon.
- the fireplace should be both plumb and level, which may require shimming of the fireplace.
- vent line is installed, if the fireplace unit requires such venting.
- a plumber then connects the necessary gas line.
- the plumber makes use of the plurality of predefined plumbing access holes 52, 54 (see FIG. 3) by choosing the access hole most convenient for that particular installation. By running the gas line through a predefined opening, the plumber can be confident that the installed gas line will not interfere with the subsequently-installed drywall and cabinetry.
- access holes 54 are formed in the flange as removable knockouts 55.
- drywall 45 is then attached to studs 44. As described hereinabove, drywall 45 slides behind flange 40. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8, the cabinetry is installed around fireplace 12. In one particularly preferred embodiment, fireplace cabinet unit 16 is secured to template 22 by cam lock pins 32. Marble facing or other appropriate finishing material may then be installed around the periphery of fireplace 12. Finally, any necessary finish electrical work is accomplished, e.g., installation of electrical cover plates.
- Camlock pins 56, 58 are shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, respectively.
- the pins are used in conjunction with rotatable camlocks 60 (shown in FIG. 9c) which are insertable in, for example, blind holes 62 of cabinet panel 64.
- the camlock pin is then inserted into passage 66 until head 68 is received by keyhole 70 of the camlock. Thereafter, the camlock is turned to the lock the head therein.
- a second camlock pin is inserted into the other passage, and this pin is similarly locked in place.
- the panel can the be secured to an adjacent panel in similar fashion. If camlock pins 58 are utilized (which include one threaded male end), the adjacent panel would be provided with threaded female inserts.
- the fireplace system of the present invention additionally provides a great deal of installation flexibility. More particularly, by utilizing the three components shown in FIG. 1, i.e., fireplace cabinet unit 16, corner cabinet unit 18 and bookcase cabinet unit 20, a variety of installations may be accomplished.
- FIGS. 10a to 10g illustrate just a few of the possible configurations. Each of these installations, however, utilizes and relies on the installation template.
- templates 24, 26, and 28 shown in detail in FIG. 11
- the templates include drywall flanges 40' and 40" secured thereto.
- the templates also include access openings 52' and 54'. Access openings 54' are initially covered by removable knockouts 55'.
- the gas fireplace unit may be set on a reinforced shelf within the cabinet.
- the template (which is secured to the floor) determines the precise position of reinforced shelf which, in turn, determines the precise position of the subsequently-installed fireplace unit.
- the fireplace system of the present invention is also suitable for use in "already constructed" homes.
- any floor covering is first removed from the area which will receive the fireplace and associated cabinet(s).
- the existing drywall is then marked as to allow a 3/4" slot (the thickness of the template) to be removed along the bottom of the drywall, thus allowing the rearward edge to slide under the existing wall into abutting contact with the studs of the wall.
- the remaining installation is similar to the new home installation, with the exception that the plumber and/or electrician may need to cut a hole through the existing drywall at the location defined by access opening 54.
- FIGS. 12-14a The cabinetry used in connection with the gas fireplace system of the present invention is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 12-14a.
- the cabinets are manufactured in component pieces to facilitate packaging and shipping of the units. These component pieces are thereafter readily assembled about the gas fireplace, and are readily connected to the base templates and to the adjoining cabinets, if any. As discussed hereinabove, this assembly may be accomplished by use of rotatable camlocks and camlock pins.
- the templates, templates 22-30 are formed as separate pieces, and packaged together with the associated cabinetry. It is contemplated herein that the template itself could be manufactured as one integral component, thereby eliminating the need to secure the various template pieces together in a fireplace system such as system 10 shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 15 illustrates the interconnection of the various cabinet units, although in this figure the fireplace cabinet unit 14 is shown positioned on the right hand side of cabinet unit 18 (in contrast to the positioning shown in FIG. 1).
